Jamieson Rd , Mansfield .
The 'depreciation meter' on the seeding machine was spinning as we grinded and bumped our way down this unfriendly ridge line . Justus hates ripped sites!
The site was ripped by a large bulldozer to prepare for seeding . The dozer shattered large rocks , bringing many to the surface making our progress difficult .
Surprisingly we managed to sow 4 ha with the machine . Jude & Deb hand seeded the steepest parts , I got out and helped them , it was too rough & scarey in the car.
In many places we direct seeded at right angles to the deep rip lines .
Jude Hill / Cathy Olive DPI Grant .
2010 : Checked the site with Jim & Cathy . Growth reseasonable . Varnish Wattles & Lightwoods going well . The best germination was in these damn rip lines . Hand seeding also worked.
Owner pleased.
